Answer: 54.2%

Explanation:

The percent mark-up refers to how much higher you sell a product than what you bought it for expressed as a percentage of what you bought it for.

In this case, the woman bought it for $120 and sold it for $65 more.

Cost = $120

Markup = $65

Markup percentage = 65 / 120 * 100%

= 54.2%
